Come, Not Gone

Generally speaking, the "ides" of March refers to the middle of the month. The notion that one should beware the middle of March comes to us from Julius Caesar's assassination, in 44 B.C. -- the subject of a prophecy that Caesar should stay home.

Doubting prophecy, Caesar made haste to the theatre. On his way, he encountered his oracle and taunted, "The ides of March has come." The oracle replied that although it had come, it had not gone. Nevertheless, Caesar continued to the theatre, where he was stabbed twenty-three times.

Tibetan oracles, astrologers, and seers all over the world are noting a forthcoming natural disaster of considerable proportion. Many believe the event will take place in March -- from an astrological perspective, the period 27 through 30 March being likely -- with geological upset being the agent. 

So, this means a major earthquake, or volcanic eruption. 

Whether this could result in another tsunami or not is in some question. Links to old Tibetan prophecy indicate a fire-water-earth nexus. Heretofore, this has been reckoned as uncertain, but numerous other  interpretations are certainly possible.

Just a few days ago, the State Oracle of Tibet predicted a substantial, natural calamity to take place this coming summer, in northwestern India.

Lama Dawa has also predicted calamity -- a major earthquake, or possible landslide -- and has gone to the extent of circulating a special "earthquake practice" to his students, based on the seventh section of the Sampa Lhundrub. We take the liberty of reprinting this herewith:

from the southwest visualize Nyima Odser surrounded by dakinis of the four elements

This visualization is specific for earthquakes. Visualize that I am yellow Guru Rinpoche with both hands making the ‘earth touching’ mudra. I am sitting cross-legged. My legs cover the whole area which is in danger. From my body a yellow light spreads and travels to the King earth spirit, Topochey (lord of gravity) and the twelve tenma goddesses. The light also travels to the earth lords Sadzin Lhakpa and Wangchen (he-who-holds-the-earth) and his ministers Sri Badra. Once the yellow light reaches them, they are compelled into action and work to stabilize the elements, particularly the element of earth and water. Your visualization should extend to cover the entire area that is being affected and should be infused with the non-partial view that you are protecting all areas and all beings.

Maintain this visualization while reciting the prayer and mantra at least twenty-one times.
